It's All About Priorities

Whatever hand was taking place at Phil Laak's table was not nearly as interesting as his conversation with Dag Palovic. Palovic was telling Laak about some sort of poker party he was hosting in Slovakia, and how they were planning to bring in 200-300 Slovakian girls ("Not hookers," Palovic quickly pointed out) for the party. Laak expressed interest in the party for the poker side of it. Then he considered another aspect.

"If someone gets caught smoking a joint in Slovakia, is that really bad?" Laak asked. "Is it like China?"

Palovic started to expound upon how Slovakia was a "very modern" country, prompting Laak to ask, "So it's like America?" Palovic was perhaps insulted at this comparison and took great pains to distinguish Slovakia from America. "Not Denmark?" Laak asked hopefully. "Somewhere in between America and Denmark?"

Palovic didn't seem to be hearing Laak at all. Finally Laak said to him, "Do you know what I'm asking you? Marijuana." Palovic finally got the picture.

"Oh," he said. "I smoke too."

"Give me your card," Laak told him.
